FABULOUS WOMEN ON G+ Part 1 of 4My goal was to crowd-source a list of women on Google+. I had originally expected maybe 50 names. Much to my surprise and , I received over 400+ comments filled with love and positive energy to help curate this list of well over 1310 beautiful people. I would say this was a success and now I'm sharing with everyone (this is shared public too).If you're getting a notification about this it's because you've been identified as a Fabulous Woman on G+ that is Actively posting and Engaging here. See the bottom of this message for the original post where names were collected.I thought you would want to know that you have been identified as someone the G+ community should connect with! I don't send out notifications unless there is 100% warranted.#Google+ will only allow me to share 500 at a time, so the list has been broken down in to 4 circles. I would have shared one massive circle if I was allowed.What You Can Do Now* Add these circles to your own circles by pressing the "View shared circle" button below. Then you can either add it to an existing circle of yours or add it as a new circle by giving it a new name. I've labeled mine "Fabulous Women on G+".* Once you've added it, I recommend visiting the stream for this circle and browsing through it to see what you find interesting, encouraging, and enlightening. Then, share some love by commenting, +1ing or sharing the posts of your sisters!* Please note, this is a very diverse group of women. You're likely to see some people in these circles who will see, understand, or experience things differently than you. They may or may not share your similar interests. With that in mind, a few suggestions: -- If you disagree with someone's views, you can very easily remove them from your circle. -- Please post to public vs to these circles directly. Each of us has separate preferences on notifications and we want to lift one another up, not bog down notifications. I hope you all see some increased activity, make some new and inspired connections, and lift one another up as we share our brilliance.Original Post: https://plus.google.com/u/0/117590169633617507930/posts/HHzp7g9aW9t﻿

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Great Photographers With < 25,000 Followers>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>The photographers here are all in my personal circles. The choices are mine and mine alone. No one asked, begged, or pleaded to belong. No bribes were offered or accepted. These are the people that I follow because I appreciate their great quality photography and their interaction. Most I have met as I help curate several of the photography themes. *There are NO requirements to share this circle*. I would appreciate the people in this circle plus the post, leave a comment, and share the circle as public. Each profile has been verified by me. Each has < 25,000 followers (when they were put into the circle), and most have between 10,000 and 25,000 followers. They each have high quality original photography content. You won’t find many animated gifs! Landscape Photography: I invite everyone to check out the +Landscape Photography #LandscapePhotography theme. If you want to impress me, that’s the place to do it!! Post a great landscape that will get my attention. See the About tab for all the details.I wasn’t included, what do I do? If you meet the criteria, weren’t included, but think you should be, then leave me a comment. Maybe I don’t know about you. There are millions of people on G+ and I don’t know everyone. However, I’ll be happy to have a look at your work if you will call it to my attention. Start posting landscapes that get my attention (see above)!!There’s a really great photographer XXX that you didn’t include. Please feel free to recommend qualified people. I discover new people every day and would be happy to look at their work. Please make sure that the recommended person meets the criteria. If they don’t then that tells me a lot about you! #Circleshare #Sharedcircles ﻿

Hand Picked Photographers Circles - Canon Camera R-S - 5 of 14Note: These circles are sorted by camera type and last name. I have had to split some circles because they exceeded 500 members.I am now sharing one circle per day, for the reason see: https://plus.google.com/u/0/103752943025677384806/posts/RrPNTzHhQuHAs before these circles are photographers that I admire. They also have "more photos, less spam." There have been many additions and a few drops (mostly for spam or inactivity).Be sure to get all 14 circles. Share! If you miss any of the circles they can be found at: +Gailen Mapes and scroll back to September 1st for the start of this set. (Previous complete set was published starting August 15th.)I am hard up against the 5000 limit. From here on, I am going to have to become rather more strict about the "spam rules." Essentially if I have to go back more than a screen on your profile before I hit original material, there is a good chance that I may drop you from the circles. Of course there will be mitigating factors...Because of the way that Google no longer presents every person who adds me to their circles to me it is quite possible that I have missed some pretty good photographers. If I am following you, chances are that you are already in one of these circles or in my "check later" circle. If you think you have been missed, tag a comment on one of these posts and I will check your profile out for inclusion.

Got Art? - Part 4: Artists - D - E (by first name)Part 1: Artists - A: http://bit.ly/NDM6ifPart 2: Artists - B: http://bit.ly/PlfKbXPart 3: Artists - C: http://bit.ly/NoWtDTThe text below is copied from the original circle share part 1, because, no, people aren't going to click to read it, and haters will hate, so I must reiterate. Sorry! :)At nearly 1000, my art circle is bursting at the seams. It's too big to share on it's own anymore, so I thought I'd break it down into several smaller circles, to share over a period of days.These people fill my streams with visual imagery, sometimes beautiful, experimental, evocative... each one has a unique perspective and practice. Most of these people are painters, drawers, illustrators, sculptors, etc. (I generally keep my photogs in a separate circle, with a few exceptions, for good measure. So yes, this circle is a different beast.)The desire to connect with other artists is what brought me to G+, and it is a huge part of why I am still here.********************************************************************************A note about this circle, and my sharing it.Every time I share a circle, I get a backlash of anger from people that are not in it. Honestly, it is to the point that I rarely share circles.Please know that this circle is not all of the artists that you should be following here on Google+, it is simply the artists that I follow. I have chosen them for personal reasons, and enjoy following each of them. I am sharing them because I believe that you may also enjoy following them.This circle reflects my choices, of whom to follow, please be respectful of that. If you are an artist, and not in my circles, please feel free to say hi and let me know in the comments, so that I can mosey on over to your profile and see your work! #art #sharedcircles

You just never know who you'll discover until you circle them.There's someone for everyone to follow in this incredible circle of people & pages. Especially +Candace Regan whose my better half who makes me look good :-) She wasn't feeling well yesterday, she's been putting in 20 hr days lately working on our projects to help others for free, so I thought I'd surprise her today with a few new followers, she loves to engage with people. Just like others in this group of people who are waiting to follow you, they love to engage with people, while others are hoping for the opportunity to inspire you with their posts.For me, that's what it's all about, helping one another find the right people to connect to.The greatest thing about Google is you can add and delete as many circles as you want. So put this circle to the test, check out the Stream for a week, keep those who you like and return the rest to the grid. You can always add them again later on when the time is right for you. I guarantee you, you'll find more than one :-)That's why I included +J.J. Bentley circle of 190 "Rising G+ Superstars" Their amazing photographers with less than 10,000 followers, that are rising to the top because of the extraordinary work they do :-) Please add & share this circle ~ to share these extraordinary people,If you would like to be added, please leave a comment. #BeHappy #Friends #Share #circleshare #circlecount #publiccircle #sharedcircle If you have a favorite photo/artwork/story that we should consider for our book & show that were producing this fall, so that we can continue to help people for free, then post it on the public stream and include the #hashtag #Take2seconds and mention my name +Trever McGhee or +Candace Regan so that we can comment on it. If the photo/artwork/story follows the Google guidelines, it is family friendly and we have the artist's permission, we'll include it in the DVD portion that goes with the book. Everyone can take part in it, all you need is one plus which can be your own :-). As to whether or not your photo/artwork/story makes it into the book and/or the reality show will be determined by the largest number of pluses/shares.More details on the projects and how we'll raise 97 million will be released on Apr 22 :-)﻿

Rising G+ Superstars: Updated for April 2012I've updated the criteria to focus more on the emerging photographers. This circle is limited to those with less than 10k followers.I've spent hours going through the comments left on the last posting. I've included those photographers who a) have a completed profile page with good scrapbook photos, etc, b) who post their original photos frequently and have little reshares and non photography related posts, and c) who interact, giving +1s, comments, etc and d) have less than 10,000 followers.If you add these photographers to your circles, you are guaranteed to increase the amount of amazing quality photographs that float down your stream.And if you do add this circle, please share it as well. Help spread the word.Finally, if you would like to be considered for inclusion in this circle, please do two things. Leave a comment. I will check out your profile and add you to the next sharing of the cirlcle (in May 2012) if it's appropriate.﻿

Rising G+ SuperstarsI've spent quite a bit of time hand curating this list of G+ photographers. Each has under 15,000 followers (some even less than 100!) and each post consistent original stuff that I enjoy looking at in my stream.

Well this time, how about we go for fewer than 15'000? The last time we did this, it was a lot of fun and a lot of people wanted to do it again.Here's a circle of photographers with less than 15'000 followers. All have some great images to share. Some are fantastic, some awesome. Add this circle, find the ones you enjoy, remove the ones that just aren't to your taste. I think there's a nice cross-section of photographers doing portrait, landscape, street, and B&W • Only you can decide which are really awesome, enjoy and share.• What's that you say ? There's only 155 !!! That's where you come in.• I want to build this circle up 250 (or more) people and then share it.• I need you to tell me who needs to be in it.Who is your favorite photographer with less than 15'000 followers that you think needs more recognition?Rules:• People whose whole stream is project 52 / project 365 photos are unlikely to be chosen• If you don't understand white balance - I can hardly include you• If you don't correct tilting horizons, I won't add you. • If there aren't any banner images, I pretty sure I'll skip on by.• I will be in the circle and I have 30'250 followers• Please suggest who should be in this circle, more people recommending a single person is good. • I will verify every profile and I will select which ones get added• If the profile has no avatar - out• If there are animated gifs in the stream - no• if there is little or not photographs in the stream - no• (Tricky here) If I don't like what I see - no• If I see anything rude or unfriendly - no• No one with more than 15'000 followers will be added unless they here before reaching that number► Every profile was verified. If I saw animated gifs, a slew of shares or too little photography, the profile wasn't added. Unfortunately, when you do a circle like this, some people will be unhappy • If you're a landscape photographer and you don't know +Johan Peijnenburg be sure to make his acquaintance. He is a very talented landscape photographer and keeps one of the best photography circles on G+ • Architecture and B&W photographers should become acquainted with +David Bowden and +Joel Tjintjelaar (B&W + Long Exposure) • Check out +Daily Photography Themes ►►►► Remember, the more you share the circle the farther the circle goes. The farther it goes, the more people will see it. The point of a circle is to gain visibility. If you'

G+ Awesome Chicks Circle #2Did you know, as of right now, the Google+ user base is only 30% female? I recently posted a thread proposing that I wanted to create a circle of Awesome G+ Chicks. I was DELIGHTED AND AMAZED at the response I got in just 24 hours! In fact, there were too many recommendations to fit into one circle!These two circles are filled with women from all kinds of backgrounds, hobbies, careers, interests, etc. There are artists, photographers, geeks, techies, mothers, wives, writers, entrepreneurs, executives, nurses, cooks, podcasters...anything you can possibly think of! They were all recommended by someone and are all awesome!I've met some great ladies through this experiment and hope to get to know so many of them!

The Net Effect of Circle SharingAny time you have the release of such large circles totaling 1500 community members from one with over 880,000 contacts, there will probably be discussions on the pros and cons of circle sharing. At a high level, he added 22,000 contacts yesterday, but if even 500 of his contacts added the circles, 750,000 new connections were made in the community, more than he'll add in a month. I added 500 yesterday, and the 500 people not in his circle shares before probably added much more (so that's a highly conservative estimate). We could second-guess the process, but overall, the community is the beneficiary. Now clearly there are more people which should be recognized and included in circle shares, and many more topics than photography as well, so what I'd like to suggest is that others follow this example and similarly "pay it forward" to the community. Share your own circles, to continue and broaden the interconnection process within the community. Let's make tomorrow a #CircleSharingSunday !What do you think?-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*+Thomas Hawk * - Yesterday 10:16 AM (edited) - Public*1,500 Kick Ass Photographers on Google+ (P-Z, Part 3 of 3) *1,500 Kick Ass Photographers on Google+ (A-G, Part 1 of 3) http://goo.gl/WGdFw1,500 Kick Ass Photographers on Google+ (G-O, Part 2 of 3) http://goo.gl/1yiS61,500 Kick Ass Photographers on Google+ (P-Z, Part 3 of 3) http://goo.gl/6nLZEI've shared my photographers circle on Google+ two times now. Once when it got to 500 and then again when it got to 1,000. Today my circle hit 1,500 so I'm sharing them again.I have to break them up into 500 person circles because this is the limit on Google+. Also Google limits the number of people you can add to circles per day so I'm going to publish my kick ass photographers circle over 3 days. Today I'm publishing A-G. Tomorrow I'll publish G-O. Friday I'll publish P-Z. By last name.In addition to the kick ass photographers in these circles I've also added three other accounts. Our new photography hangout show which will be on live tonight at 8PM PST +Photo Talk Plus as well as our show's sponsors +Drobo and +SmugMug as a way of saying thanks to them.A few notes about these circles. not to be long-winded, but…Every time I've shared my circles I've gotten haters from it. People who are upset that they are not in them. I absolutely detest that. It makes me not even want to share them because of that. These circles are not meant to be the definitive list of what photographers you should be following on Google+. These circles are simply who I have chosen to follow for photography on Google+ for my own personal consumption. I want to share them because I think YOU may also benefit from having these rich, talented, kick ass photographers in your streams.This is the circle that I browse every single day looking for great stuff to +1 and comment on Google+ and as such it reflects my own personal biases. For example. I hate looking at watermarks. This is a personal preference thing. If you use them, more power to you. It's absolutely your right. But as a consumer of photography I find them ugly and distracting and so I tend not to follow people who use them. This is not a big deal. This is not a personal attack against you if you watermark. This isn

I thought I'd share this circle that has a lot of great photographers in it. Not the masters, that have tens of thousands of followers, but, photographers that produce great work, but, are lesser known. Feel free to add and share!

I've spent quite a bit of time hand curating this list of G+ photographers. Each has under 15,000 followers (some even less than 100!) and each post consistent original stuff that I enjoy looking at in my stream.

If you add these photographers to your circles, you are guaranteed to increase the amount of amazing quality photographs that float down your stream.

And if you do add this circle, please share it as well. Help spread the word.

Finally, if you would like to be considered for inclusion in this circle, please do two things. 1) share the circle and 2) leave a comment. I will check out your profile and add you to the next sharing of the circle if it's appropriate.﻿___Another wonderful circle I'm honored to be part of!

+Charles Lupica circle of photographers with less then 15,000 followers.

◊ [EDIT-adding new rules]▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ►► Who should be in this circle ? ◄◄ 250 great photographers with less than 15'000 followers ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

How many of you remember my circle for great photographers with 20'000 followers or less ? Well this time, how about we go for fewer than 15'000? The last time we did this, it was a lot of fun and a lot of people wanted to do it again.

Here's a circle of photographers with less than 15'000 followers. All have some great images to share. Some are fantastic, some awesome. Add this circle, find the ones you enjoy, remove the ones that just aren't to your taste. I think there's a nice cross-section of photographers doing portrait, landscape, street, and B&W

• Only you can decide which are really awesome, enjoy and share.• What's that you say ? There's only 155 !!! That's where you come in.• I want to build this circle up 250 (or more) people and then share it.• I need you to tell me who needs to be in it.

Who is your favorite photographer with less than 15'000 followers that you think needs more recognition?

Rules:• People whose whole stream is project 52 / project 365 photos are unlikely to be chosen• If you don't understand white balance - I can hardly include you• If you don't correct tilting horizons, I won't add you. • If there aren't any banner images, I pretty sure I'll skip on by.• I will be in the circle and I have 30'250 followers• Please suggest who should be in this circle, more people recommending a single person is good. • I will verify every profile and I will select which ones get added• If the profile has no avatar - out• If there are animated gifs in the stream - no• if there is little or not photographs in the stream - no• (Tricky here) If I don't like what I see - no• If I see anything rude or unfriendly - no• No one with more than 15'000 followers will be added unless they here before reaching that number

► Every profile was verified. If I saw animated gifs, a slew of shares or too little photography, the profile wasn't added.

Unfortunately, when you do a circle like this, some people will be unhappy

• If you're a landscape photographer and you don't know +Johan Peijnenburg be sure to make his acquaintance. He is a very talented landscape photographer and keeps one of the best photography circles on G+

• Architecture and B&W photographers should become acquainted with +David Bowden and +Joel Tjintjelaar (B&W + Long Exposure)

• Check out +Daily Photography Themes

►►►► Remember, the more you share the circle the farther the circle goes. The farther it goes, the more people will see it. The point of a circle is to gain visibility. If you're in this circle it helps you and your fellow photographers if you share it ◄◄◄◄

This has been fun and I've enjoyed interacting with all of you.◊◊◊﻿___+Charles Lupica circle of photographers with less then 15,000 followers.

Thank you to all the photographers that make Google+ such a beautiful place day in and day out and who fill my stream up every day with such wonderful photographs to look at.

I'll share my circles again when they hit 2,000. I appreciate all the kind words I've gotten from people the past few days over sharing my circles. Although this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to photographic talent on G+, I think it's a great way that I can help promote alot of other talented people who enrich my experience here.﻿___I'm honored to be included with the wonderful talent in this circle.

I know there are a gazillion coffee splash photos out there. But there's a reason for it. They're so gosh darn fun to do. This photo was shot early in my 365 Project of 2010. What a fun photoshoot it was. And what a huge mess it made. Here's a link to a collage I made of some of the outtakes from the photoshoot, which I think is equally fun.

As it seems there is more and more people joining G+, and that photo sharing is growing significantly, I started to curate those NON-OFFICIAL lists of talented photographers to allow Googlers+ to follow thems:

ONLY 100 Photographs per list, In order to keep it credible (when 100 will be reached, I'll see how to manage it).

If you're interested to be included in one, put your name below and the list you want to be added in.

Please, share that as much as possible in order to give us a chance to find lots of good photographers!Consider that this post is the reference one for this page, where I put informations as soon as possible. Also consider this is on this post you may ask me to be added. And then, consider that this is this post that you may share with others!Damien

Group "10000 Photographers Around The World"Due to massive technical problems it is necessary to transfer the group "10000 Photographers" to a new server with new rules and conditions:10000 Photographers around the World http://gpc.fm/l/10photographersAs a new and special service I'm going to share all members of this group periodically in circles. So you do'nt need individually add them to your circles. This new service is only in this group and list available and very comfortable. Google+ Counter has been created by +Ralf Rottmann We thank for that! Therefore, it is only fair that all members of the group "10000 Photographers“ add +Ralf Rottmann in their own circles. Unfortunately, there is no automatic way. Therefore, I must register all members of the group individually. This is very tedious and time consuming. Each profile ID must be entered individually. I therefore ask for your patience until I have transferred thousands of members. I cannot work the whole day only on it. I'm adding new members every day from my circles and those who register here. Approximately I've already entered 300 members. I have not taken over all members of the previous list. I've watched every single profile. I first added only persons from my circles and which have myself in their circles. That is not too much to ask for this job on one side. Furthermore, only real serious participants are included in the list. Those who commente here, are added first.

Rules and conditions to be, to stay and to get a member of Group "10000 Potographers":1. You must share public this post in your stream!2. You add the founder and curator +Robert SKREINER to your circles!. . This is necessary so that you can be informed about all changes. 3. You give +1 to this post and a comment, that you want to be added.4. You add +Ralf Rottmann to your circles as thanks for Google + Counter!5. You share always the new circles about this group!6. You must publish at least one own photo per week at Google+7. You have to comment regularly on some photos of members of the list.8. You must not be inactive for more than 4 weeks on G+ as a group-member!

Please don't forget to 'share public' this information and the regularly published circles!And of course +Colby Brown was the first on this list and therefore also his photo!﻿___Thanks +Robert SKREINER for putting this list together!

Another shot of the icy trees in the incredible lighting at Jump Off Rock during the winter of 2011. Landscape photography featuring a cold winter sunset in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina near Hendersonville, NC. Captured at Jump Off Rock in Laurel Park, this shot really showcases some amazing lighting and conditions at sunset after a winter storm. A small hole in the heavy fog at sunset time allowed the sun to beam in and back light the rime ice crystals covering these old oak trees.

When I heard about the +Scott Jarvie theme tag of #photofav I immediately thought of this photo. When I came into possession of my dad's old camera I thought long and hard about how I wanted to photograph it. I think I waited a year and one day last fall I was inspired by the colors in my backyard. Something about the season and the colors had the vintage feel I was going after. The end result turned out exactly how I imagined the photo would look in my mind. I blogged about this in November 2010: http://dorisrudddesigns.wordpress.com/2010/11/15/november-15-2010/

Dad's Camera. I think this may be my favorite photo. I think of my dad every time I look at it. Dad's been gone many years, but this shot always brings a smile to my face. And here's a photo of me shot with this camera: http://www.flickr.com/photos/drdesigns/5178406577/

Thank you +Jeff Smith for adding me to your latest circle! I'm honored to be included with this talented group.

Time for my Photographers/Photography circle update.

With the holidays I have to admit this one has been delayed.

Circle 4.3

"Circle Sharing" is the ideal way of doing this so others can add these great photographers to their own circles.

Just 50 great photographers here.

Many new people to choose from and the amount of sharing, the self expression and creativity and a real passion for photography shines through with all of those that I have added.

Many great photographs and ideas being shared.

1800+ photographers (in 32 Circles) I will sharing previous circles in the next few weeks.

A complete set of lists 1.0 to 4.2 are here: https://plus.google.com/115961021629090154025/about

As in previous lists/circles you will find professionals, amateurs and enthusiasts alike.___________________

Please keep on sharing, keep on commenting and offering your honest feedback. Take the chance to learn from others who have a different view of the world through their lens.

My criteria is simple. Love of and for photography and a desire to share not only their images and creativity but also their ideas and feedback to others in this network. I have viewed peoples profile, looked at their images, read their posts and comments and have added them to the list based on this.

Feel free to share and or comment and let me know if you want to suggest others as the list grows_________________________________

When you set the alarm for 3am you can hope but never know what the exact conditions will be for the sunrise. This morning I made the trek down to the Cape Cod National Seashore with my good friend and fellow tog +Frank C. Grace . We had a glimmer of color but we knew when we had to drive down with some light rain the conditions might not be as we hoped. The few minutes of any color faded but before it was all gone and another shower passed I clicked a few shots.

"A man may stand there and put all America behind him."_ Henry David Thoreau_

The great Outer Beach described by Thoreau in the 1800s is protected within the national seashore. Forty miles of pristine sandy beach, marshes, ponds, and uplands support diverse species. Lighthouses, cultural landscapes, and wild cranberry bogs offer a glimpse of Cape Cod's past and continuing ways of life.﻿___Beautiful shot from +Ed King ,Comments have been turned off.
